I hate to be pedantic, but these have way more fidelity than any 8-bit console was capable of. Wouldn’t 16-bit be more accurate?

Interesting. I guess I missed it because Virtual Battlespace is made by a spin-off company called Bohemia Interactive Simulations.

In the case of Arma, the game really isn’t even their main priority. It’s just a way to make some extra cash by releasing a consumer version of the software they design and sell for actual military training.

There’s disagreement in the comments over whether this is actually Turing complete.

The writeup says it’s four 1-bit adders daisy chained together, so in theory you could extend this as far as you want.

As far as I know, no one owns the Bond license now. I think there was a report a few years ago that the IP holder wasn’t happy what EA and Activision did with it when they were the holders.

That’s a different game. The Goldeneye that came out for Wii (and 360 and PS3 as Goldeneye: Reloaded) is an original game that is based on the movie but is only loosely inspired by the Nintendo 64 game. An actual remake of the Nintendo 64 game was in the works at once point, which is what Kopi was referring to.

I’ll pick this game up once everyone else has left.

I think Sim City is simultaneously more and less nuanced than that.

After Reach was released they went back and retconned the book with a new release that heavily modified it to fit the game.

Halo: Reach doesn’t contradict the novels.

Same. I’m pretty sure the cougar has to die for that quest to end, so I was dreading a “tell me about the rabbits” ending.

Regardless of liking the game or not, your first comment has the tone of a used car salesman. It sounds more like marketing than how people actually talk.

I didn’t say there’s anything wrong with having a Microsoft account. I was just saying that it’s easy for Phil Spencer to distance himself from the Epic approach, because Microsoft doesn’t need to sell games on its own store to make inroads.

But Microsoft’s Windows offerings require you to use a Microsoft account. So it doesn’t matter what store you buy it from; a Microsoft game is still pulling you into Microsoft’s ecosystem.

You’re being needlessly pedantic–and you’re also wrong. Microsoft’s right to decide who’s allowed on Xbox Live and what they’re allowed to do is free association, not free speech.

Get destroyed. Can’t believe you thought you were on my level.

Cheese curds exist in the US, but they aren’t very popular outside of Wisconsin. They might only be made there too, and since they go “stale” after a relatively short time, it’s not worth trying to get them elsewhere.

Do you have to remind us of your Dancing Queen joke in literally every comment in this thread? I get that you think it’s clever. No one else does.

Remember, Musk is the guy whose first tech business was software that would optimize delivery routes for paper newspapers. Does that sound like a “visionary” to you? I thought not.
